Maine Learning Result: Science and Technology- D. The Physical Setting
D4. Force and Motion
Grade 9-Diploma
Students understand that the laws of force and motion are the same across the universe.
a. Describe the contribution of Newton to our understanding of force and motion, and give examples of and apply Newton's three laws of motion.
What understandings are desired?
Students will understand that:(U)
•Newton's three laws of motion are the same across the universe.
•Each law can be explained and shown with an everyday example.
•Newton's three laws of motion impacted our understanding of force and motion.
What essential questions will be considered?
Essential Questions:(Q)
• How do Newton's three laws apply to everyday actions as well as the universe?
• How will changing the mass, acceleration, and outside forces on an object impact each Law?
• Why did these laws impact our understanding of the universe?
What key knowledge and skills will students acquire as a result of this unit?
Students will know:(K)
Students will be able to do:(S)
•Formula: F=ma, and how to use it.
•Terminology: Force, acceleration, motion, and how they relate.
•Critical Details: How to explain and use the three laws, what everyday forces effect motion.
•Important events and people: When discovery was made, when it was accepted, who Newton was, Laws of Conservation , Aristotle, Galileo, Inertia.
•a. Describe the contribution of Newton to our understanding of force and motion.
•Translate the three laws into their own words.
•Design an experiment to show Newton's three laws of motion.
•Infer what will happen if you change one of the variables.
•Relate the three laws to each other and their other knowledge of force and motion.
•Realize that the laws can be used anywhere in the universe and know why.
